Playing football on the street, and getting annoyed if a car passed, temporarily suspending the game. Playing rounders, kick the can or British Bulldog in the quiet street.( very few cars on the road in those days.)

Re: Turn back time
Great drying today so did a couple of loads of washing, and whilst hanging out jeans, I remembered getting my first pair of denims out of H E Rowe in Saltcoats and how every time they were washed, they had to be s t r e t c h e d to regain the 2” shrunk in the wash. Don’t have to do that now thank goodness - anybody else get their jeans out of Rowes?
Re: Turn back time
Hi, Meg, hope your good!
I can't remember buying jeans out of Rowes, but i might of bought a swallow raincoat in the shop. And round the corner i bought Terry brogues cannot remember the name of that shoe shop. Also in Countess street a wee gents shop opened later and purchased a few short sleeve button up tops .. i thought i was the buisness.
